"You don't even have to be a fisher to enjoy this fabulous CD!"
– TOM BROKAW, former NBC News Anchor
"I've just got to tell you how much I've enjoyed your album. It's interesting that being in a band called Trout Fishing in America and also being an avid fisherman, I've never been interested in singing a fishing song. Until I heard Madison Brown and Ocean of Dreams. Great songwriting and performance!"
– EZRA IDLET, member of the band Trout Fishing In America
"These soothing tunes reflect some of the real reasons that crazy guys like us enjoy fishing - relaxation, joy, escape, and adventure - small pleasures that adjust our attitude and outlook in this frenzied world."
– DR. KEN FORD, co-host of ESPN2 "The Reel Guys" fishing show
